To all whom z5-may concern:

Bc it known that I, JEFFERSON D. Arima, a citizen of the United States,residn at Rock Hall, in the county of Kent and t tate of B'Iaryland,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chimney-Flues; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appert-ains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to heaters, and it more particularly relates `toa heatincg drum andha damper or deflect/or connecte therewit 4An objectof the invention is to provide a device of this character which may bebuilt into a chimney-flue of Ordinary construction, und is adapted toutilize the heat which is ordinarily carried away with the roducts ofcombustion from a stove or the 1i e.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this characterwhich "miv be easily and quickly applied-5to andav justed wit-hin aread-built chimney-flue.

A still further obJect of the inventionis.. associated with the druirfto provide means p whereby the products of combustion heate air or thelike may be deflected or d flue.

the flow of heated matter throught e chimney-flue and drum, may be`operated byineans conveniently associated with the drum and damper. ,l

Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter more clearl out in thespecification and claim.

In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this app ication,Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a chimney iverted. fromthe chimney-flue through saiddrum, whence it enters again yinto thecliiirmey-l A still further object is'bte provide means' whereby adamper or the like, for re ulating set forth 4and pointedy v im rovedheating druml designate corresponding parte throughout the severalviews, the Wall of a cliiiiinevflue is designated by the numeral 5. The`stove 6, of ordinary construction, commuiii eates with the interior ofthe flue through the stove pipe 7, which extends into the flucopening 8,and the heated air and products of combustion from the stove 6, passilpward, as usual, and normally escape through the oiening 9, in thedeiector plate 1U. This deflector plate is in the form of a nadrangularframe and has a de ending gauge 11, a vertical plate 12, and a orizontalbase ange 32 said depending flange standinvr at an obtuse angle, and thevertical pllatc standin at an acute an le to the surface of said deector plate. n other words, the flange 11 and plate 12 are arallel witheach other and are dispose on vertical .plancsw liile the detlectorplate is dis oscd on an inclined plane, as more clearly s own in Fig. 1.`Hinged to the deflector plate, at 13, is a damper 14,' provided with asegment ofa worm wheel 15, meshin with a worm 16. ,ivhicliis carried bya sha t 17, the latter vbeing jou'rnaled at 18 and 19, in the members 11and 12 respe tively. The, shaft 17 carries a handle 20, by which it maybe rotated for actuatin the worm and' segment of a worin wheel anthereby opening, closing and regulatin the dam er 14.

` In lorder t at the eflector plate and damper may be removed forcleaning or rep'airin or for cleaning out the chimney,

-anda terward properly adjusted therein, I

p referabl provide a sufficiently large aper- `ture in t e chimney, forthe. insertion of a 'supporting frame 31, which is to be ixedly securedin said aperture. The base flange 32 is-seated upon the bottom plate ofthe frame 31, and the outer opening of this frame is closed by a closureor flanged platt- 33, the anges 34 thereof contacting with the innersurfaces of the frame 31. The closurtx 33 is provided with a stove pipeopening 35. through which the lmember 21 extends, so as 'to coact withthe flange 32 in supporting the deflector plate in ro er position. Tlulmember 21 is slidab e t rough the hole 35. while the plate 82 isslidable on the element 81, so that proper adjustment of these clementsis easily obtainable.

The flange 12 is provided with a cylindrical stove pipe connection 21which registers i with a. flue o ening or stove pipe hole 35, iu theclosing p ate.

The heating drum same vwith` transverse radiator communicating with theflue open The connecting pipes 21..'and 21 ex through the ilue openin s22 and 23, consti-` an outlet port, re-

tuting an inlet portan spectively, of the drum 24.

as to close between the pipesx25 and thence through the elbow-27 andflue opening 23.` 'lhe heated matter,.in thus passing through the drumwill impart its heatto the .drum ipes, and therebyx. heat the ls-searated'. from therom" the floor 30. he u wardvinclinatio 1nthedirection'o v. the flue openings 22 and 23,-faei1itates the andradiator room.: 28, whic 29 by of the deflector plate 10,

Copies' of this patentiinay' be obtained for vs exits 24 may be of anyordinary construction`,'but I Ihave shownthe-I pipes `T25.v` Formedonthebottomof the drum `isan elbow 26 whichyis extendedlaterally soas tocommunicate' withthe stove- )ipe'connection 21. An 'elbow 27 is'forme ontheup per end of thedrum and extends laterally, ng 23. tend outwaroperation of deflccting the heated matter 'through said -flue openingsin an obvlous manner. When not desirable to heat the lroom .28, thehandle 20 is turned so as to 'open the damper14, whereupon the heated"matter will follow the channel of least resistance, and will thereforepass straight upward through the opening 9 I do not limit m invention tothe exaet details of construction and arrangement of arts herewithdescribed and shown, but my invention is limited onl by a reasonableinyter retation of the fol owing claim.

hat I claim is:

Ay heated duid deflector comprising a frame adapted to be fitted into aflue having an opening through its wall, a damper pivotally mounted onthe frame, and means for actuating the damper, the position of the framebeing ad'ustable with relation to the opening throug the wall of theflue, so as to rovide Afor fitting the frame into fines of iferentsizes.

`In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
